Testing the bike in water

Awesome! Thank you for the video!

 

[Philip]

You really needed a reverse there in the middle of the movie, didn't you?

I am waiting for @snydes to put on his diving gear and take on a small lake!

Thats one way of cooling the battery quickly.

I must have copied the link while half way into watching the video I'll try to fix it

thats cool, I've had mine in a river up to the fenders, and my waist. It just cruised through it no problem.

Let's see someone do that on a gas bike!

I heard a rumor that there may be a racing event coming involving Altas and water. Not sure if it’s legit or not but it would be a cool way to draw attention to the bikes.

This has gained a real product potential, if you put it on an Alta.

This will also require a KTM rear axle block with a helium balloon mount, so that you know where to fish for a sunk bike.

It would be really fun for about 20-25 minutes!

How about this for deep water? Try that on an ICE bike.

A whole new world of competition possibilities!

New extreme enduro obstacle.
ICE bike riders will have to hire a boat.

Something like 50-100ft long and 6 ft deep with a couple of whoops thrown in for good measure. Might be kind of fun to watch the different techniques and strategies to try and make it through.

Think of the new safety factor... getting thrown off the bike in water should be significantly less devastating to the body. There is potential drowning though...

I've taken mine up to the steering neck multiple times when I completed the Rubicon Trail. The guys with ICE bikes had to swim across and leave their bikes!

Without a YouTube video this didn't happen.
